My massive determinate Mtn Princess Tomato Plant with about 100 flowers has lost about half of them. Still no fruit. Do I retire it already and reclaim the bucket? I'd plant some Burpee picklebush cukes instead. On other tomato front, my massive tomato plants are becoming more massive. My Wonder Light is the current talk of the neighborhood. Now that the rain has stopped for now, I want to get a photo of Jana with it for scale.
Michael says it looks to him that this 1 tomato plant has taken over the 3'x4' bed. I'm afraid he may be right. This is in spite of my efforts of trimming branches.
I'm also noticing that my red pear tomatoes are on their way to becoming massive. I should spread out the containers.
I have never, never had tomato plants grow so massively before. At least the Wonder Light is fruiting.
My lawn is already thick and lush, with some weird holes. I wanted to reseed it last night after Michael mowed it, but Michael didn't want to because more rains are predicted.
An interesting comparison, the garden with 1 month of growth:
The left photo was taken on 5/28 and the one on the right was taken this morning, 6/28.
